Knife Sharpening and Restoration, Blade Grinding, Ax Sharpening, Mower Blade Sharpening and more! What sets A Cut Above apart from the competition is the way your items are sharpened and cared for. Most other sharpeners will use a two-part sharpening approach, first a course then a fine belt to sharpen your items. Here at A Cut Above we go through 5-6 belts followed by leather stropping. This ensures the finest edge possible resulting in an extremely useful & capable knife.
